About the Event

We are pleased to announce the second annual Coptic Hackathon hosted by Queen St. Mary & Prince Tadros Coptic Orthodox Church.
The event will be in-person and virtual on Sunday, August 6rd, 2023 after the Divine Liturgy.
  • You are encouraged to have your ideas thought of before hand. But all design elements, code, hardware builds, etc. for your project must be created during the time allotted during the event. Third party tools and frameworks are allowed as well as your normal tooling. Written documents and design sketches are allowed. You may use pre-existing material that is freely available to the public into your project, such as public domain images, Creative Commons music, open-source libraries, existing APIs and platforms, and the like.
  •  Teams can be made up of 4 people. If you do not have a team you can sign up individually and will be placed with a team before-hand.
  • The prizes will be awarded by the decision of the judging panel. Prizes will be announced closer to the event date.
  • At least one team member must be present during sign-in, and all team members must be present  during the hackathon.
  • Any intellectual property developed during the hackathon will belong to the team that developed it.
